rainy days

Saturday, June 14, 2014

Another cool and cloudy day here in Mass., and I have to admit, I don't mind it too much! I'm sure I'll get a few eye rolls, but I was dealing with a lot (and I mean, A LOT) of humidity in Japan so the change has been refreshing. Plus, it gives me a reason to sit and blog…with coffee in hand of course.

The other day I was able to catch up with one of my best friends, Samantha! You can say we were a little excited…maybe even borderline all over the place, BUT three months and a 14-hour time difference will do that to you :)

We were meeting for lunch and there was no way we were catching up without going to our fave spot, the Cottage in Chestnut Hill! The ambiance is great here because it's bright and fresh and the staff here are always so pleasant. The menu definitely reflects their exterior, but it also doesn't break your wallet which is always a plus for me.

After lunch, we decided to walk around and shop. This plaza, now known as The Street has stepped it up since I remembered! It used to be "the mall that had Bloomingdales," but now there is so much more. Here we are stopping in Jonathan Adler…how cute are all these colors? Not to mention Sam's hair and outfit! :)

This bright blue door was calling our name and let me tell you, this store did not disappoint! So many cute, chic, boho-style pieces from clothing to table decor.

I have been on the search for a gold dainty necklace to wear as an everyday and when I saw this, I just knew I had to get it. Nothing like a little daily reminder to follow your dreams :)

Definitely check this place out if you haven't already! Anyway I'm on my way out to run some errands. Oh and don't forget…father's day is tomorrow so make sure you spoil your dads :)
